Moral foundations theory (MFT) [1]}, [2]} suggests that the moral values expressed in opinions, thoughts, and cultures
can be explained by five universal, but contextually variable moral foundations. These foundations are typically described along bipolar dimensions: care vs. harm, fairness vs. cheating, authority vs. subversion, loyalty vs. betrayal, and purity vs. degradation. MFT was first introduced in social psychology and has found many applications in political science and the social sciences. For example, moral foundations motivate behaviors such as charitable donations [3]}, violent protests [4]} and social homophily [5]}.
